Abstract
A method of maintenance of a chromatography column is described which does not require the use of a hoist or crane for disassembly. The method provides improved operator safety by reducing the need for the operator to work below a suspended or supported load within the column. The provision of guide elements which can be reversibly attached to the column facilitates removal or insertion of column components.
